Rallied to make the capital mural made with photographs of cell
With the certainty that anyone can participate in building a work of art and that not everything that is offered in the streets of Mexico City is consumerism, the plan was created to develop a mural made of thousands of photographic images taken with a cell phone.

The Project's objective is to find the pedestrian public space is an art collective, which is known to everyone, regardless of age, sex or education, or even quality or resolution of the images.
The theme of the call is "" How you move in the city "and one of the ambitions is to make a portrait of the times we live under the premise that many are willing to be part of a work of art, as demonstrated by the massive naked Spencer Tunick.
To say the organizers, "but we are all artists, anyone can participate in building a work of art, because the emotional and spiritual wealth is not labels," according to a statement on the number 02 "Chilanguía," published the Ministry of Culture of the Federal District.
